The _stole_ and _maniple_ were embroidered along their whole length; they usually ended in a rectangular or trapezium-shaped piece of cloth, embroidered with a different pattern from that which ornamented the rest of the vestment (usually some form of cross), and fringed along its lower border. The _dalmatic_, besides the peculiar arrangement of fringes already described, was ornamented with a series of horizontal bands of embroidered work, running right across the body of the vestment. The _bishop's dalmatic_ was usually embroidered all over. The _chasuble_ was almost invariably adorned with an edging of embroidered work, and when the body of the vestment was adorned it was usually with some of the many modifications of the Ψ or Y cross. The _sandals_ were sometimes ornamented all over, sometimes decorated with a Ψ cross, the upper part of the cross being turned towards the toe. The _pall_ properly had no ornamentation except its crosses. The _stockings_ were either not embroidered at all or richly embroidered over the whole surface. The _rational_ was decorated with enamel, goldsmith's or jewelled work. The _mitra simplex_ was decorated with little or no adornment; the _mitra aurifrigiata_ with embroidered work all over it; the mitra pretiosa with embroidery combined with jewels and goldsmith's work. The _gloves_ do not appear to have been conspicuously ornamented. They often bore a large jewel set against the back of the hand. The _tunicle_ was generally quite simple; the _bishop's tunicle_, however, in no wise differed from the dalmatic. Of the _orale_ a full description has already been given; we need not again refer to it. Passing to the Processional and other vestments, it will be unnecessary to mention any but the _cope_; for, with the exception of a little trifling embroidered work in coloured threads round the neck of the surplice, none of the other vestments showed any ornamentation. The cope was ornamented with embroidered work down the straight edges in front, and often round the bottom edge and the neck as well; often also the whole vestment was elaborately embroidered all over. The hood, too, must not be forgotten. For some inscrutable reason a distinction is drawn in name between the embroidered ornaments of the alb and amice and those of the remainder of the ecclesiastical dress. The former are called apparels, the latter orphreys. The subjects with which these vestments are embroidered must next engage our attention for a short time. These fall naturally into three broad groups: 1. Conventional and meaningless devices. 2. Symbols or figures of Divine or beatified persons, or passages of Scripture and other religious inscriptions. 3. Personal devices.
